Oh, I do like a drink of Rum in the colder months!  I was only introduced to it last year as Rum is a drink that never really interested me, but now I can’t get enough of it! Well, I know my limits!  So when I was given the chance to try the new and latest Pink Pigeon Spiced Rum, there was no chance I would say no.  And how right was I!  This is indeed a tasty drink, and I have enjoyed sharing it with my girlfriends.

With its eye catching black and pink packaging, Pink Pigeon is ideal as a stocking filler for your girlfriend or as a lovely surprise for your best girlfriend /sister. It is a delicious base for cocktails or just as easy to drink with mixers.  Whichever lady in your life you buy this for will be sure to thanking you again and again.

Newly launched in the UK, Pink Pigeon, The Indian Ocean Rum Company Berry Bros. & Rudd Spirits were delighted to introduce the Pink Pigeon, the first super premium, spiced rum from the Island of Mauritius.  They say:-

“Although complex in flavour, this mould-breaking spiced rum is fantastically easy to drink and distilled five times with the purest of spirit. Pink Pigeon is blended with hand-pollinated and hand-picked natural vanilla from Madagascar and Reunion Islands. It incorporates a rich and golden appearance with a truly balanced sweetness.”

The vanilla tones do come through quite strong, but is you like to indulge in sweet things then this Rum is more than ideal for you.  I do however recommend using it to make some of the best cocktails you have ever tasted as on its own, it could be quit sickly after a while!  But, whilst mixed with delicious ingredients, you will never turn your back on Pink Pigeon.  I tried out the Pink Mojito and was not disappointed!  Here’s what you need to make it –

• 50ml Pink Pigeon
• 8 mint leaves
• 15ml lime juice
• 10ml sugar syrup
• Soda Top, served long
• 25-50ml cranberry juice      

I hope you trust me in saying that this is one bottle that us ladies could really do with in our life.  The cocktail opportunities are endless and it makes a perfect drink for a girls night in!  Plus the striking looking bottle and luxury feel ensures that Pink Pigeon will be the perfect addition to your night. Pink Pigeon is the only rum in the market available in a Magnum size – that, I love!

Pink Pigeon spiced Rum is available through Speciality Drinks (Wholesalers) Whisky Exchange, The Drink Shop.com, Berry Bros. & Rudd and retails at £29.00.  For more detail on the wonderful Rum, please check out http://www.pinkpigeonrum.com.  Happy drinking ladies!
